My Thoughts

I didn’t know what to expect about this game…. The title itself kind of throw me off as we usually have the wrong impression when you point at someone right?   Well this game use  and extra wide finger in order to point at another player but it’s only to identify the one who does something the most.

Let me explain to you how the game works.  First you select a card and one person read a question out loud.   There are three different questions on the card so you need to pick one and that’s the one that people will answer.   For example, one card will say

Have you ever….pointingfingers2

--> Talked your way out of trouble?

--> Sleepwalked?

--> Been chased by a wild animal?

Whichever question you have selected, the players will select their truth meter and picks how often they’ve done it.

Then, everyone put their green finger and have to point to who does it the most.   You score points if you are right.

As you can see it’s a simple game that could easily be used at a party, as a ice breaker or during a youth event.    And sometimes you can have surprises in the way your friends and/or family might answer some of these questions.   Hilarious moments are expected and be aware that the truth will come out whether you like it or not.

This kind of game would be definitively more fun with a bunch of people.  I would say that six people would make the game more interesting.   I would also recommend this game for get-together with family on special holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year.   

Pointing Fingers is available at your favourite game store, even amazon.ca and amazon.com.
